ACM Training

We may be news trainers at ACM (and all sorts of other trainers too) but occasionally we're news makers as well. When we do make news this is where it's posted.

Keep up to date with our latest news by clicking the RSS button here

or at the top or bottom of the page.

By the way, if it's comment you're after then Richard Uridge's feisty, witty and sometimes controversial blog is the place to visit.

ON YOUR FARM
Listen to ACM Training MD and head media trainer, Richard Uridge, presenting On Your Farm on BBC Radio Four. The programme was first broadcast on Sunday June 27th 2010 and was produced at the Mailbox in Birmingham by Martin Poynz-Roberts.

CHARITY PRICING
We know how hard it is making ends meet in the Third Sector. And George Osborne's decision to increase VAT to 20% from January 2011 can only make it harder still. But we also know that maintaining investment in staff development is vital if the Third Sector is to continue delivering high quality services to some of the most needy and vulnerable people in society. So we've introduced a new charity rate for all of our training and consultancy services to help training budgets go that little bit further.

To cancel out the VAT increase registered charities qualify for 20% off our "pay-later" prices and 10% off our online "book-and-pay-now" rates.* But we're not waiting until the New Year to bring in the discount. It takes immediate effect. To ensure that you receive your discount you must enter your charity registration number in the promotional code box on our booking page. Please note that your registration number will be checked against the Charity Commission's records in England and Wales or with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator in Scotland.

*Workshops that are already discounted for promotional reasons will not be discounted by an additional 20% under this scheme but will receive discount from the full price at whichever is the higher rate.
